This is a huge breakthrough considering traditional HIV vaccine approaches have failed for 40+ years, and mRNA tech is finally making it possible to target the virus’s constantly mutating envelope protiens.

hate to burst your bubble but this pill just reduces sperm count (which is only like 2-5% of ejaculate) - you’d still have all the same fluid, just without the swimmers in it.

True, but there are some super lightweight distros like AntiX, Puppy Linux, or Bodhi that can run decently on 2GB even in 2025 - I’ve got an ancient netbook running AntiX that’s suprisingly usable for basic tasks and streaming audio through my soundleaf app.

Mullvad is definitely the way to go for privacy. They don’t even require an email to sign up, just generate an account number and pay. You can literally mail them cash in an envelope if you want to be completley anonymous.

Yep, the numbers back this up. NIH funding has been stagnant in real terms since 2003, and NASA’s budget as % of federal spending is about 1/4 what it was during the Apollo era. Meanwhile China’s reserch spending grew 16% annually from 2010-2020. We’re literally choosing to give up our scientific edge.

Same here, my retinas literaly catch fire when apps suddenly blind me with their white UI, especially when I’m using my laptop at 2am.

This is super common in the 3D printer industry - Creality, Anycubic, and most “brands” are just slapping thier logos on the same OEM parts with minor tweeks.

The 17 Air is actually rumored to be the smallest in the lineup at around 6.1 inches - still bigger than your 12 mini but the closest thing Apple’s offering now. Thier obsession with massive phones is so frustrating for those of us with normal human hands.

For audiobooks specifically, I’ve been using the soundleaf app with audiobookshelf and it’s been amzing for metadata management and organization without any of the external api dependency issues you’re having with Lidarr.

State-sponsored spyware is always concerning because it can backdoor your devices even with good opsec, which is why legal challenges like this are so important for establishing boundries on what governments can do with our data.

You can actually run it without Docker using any static file server or even just opening the HTML file directly from your filesystem - no need for a dedicated desktop app when its all just static files.

The Arc actually makes sense here since OP mentioned multiple cameras for Frigate - QuickSync on N100/N305 starts to choke with 5+ simultaneous streams, while Arc A380 can handle 8+ streams with AV1 decode/encode as a bonus.

I felt exactly the same when i started - the learning curve is real! Try TrueCharts.org or linuxserver.io for reliable docker templates with good docs that actually work, saved me so much troubleshooting headache.

Yep, the login1 errors are the giveaway - elogind provides that dbus interface that swayidle needs for session management, while seatd is more minimal and dosn’t implement the full logind API that many Wayland apps expect.

Contacting politicians directly is good, but joining orgs like the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Privacy International multiplies your impact since they have lawyers and can actualy challenge these laws in court.

Fruit names are acutally super common in FOSS - Ubuntu (and all those flavors), Apple, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, Orange Pi, Plum GSM, etc - probably because they’re memorable, culturally neutral and avoid trademark issues.

have you tried zram? it’s super lightweight and built right into the kernel - perfect for systems with limited memory and you can tune the compression algorithm to balance between cpu usage and compression ratio.

This makes the dot-com bubble look like a kiddie pool - at least those companies were trying to build actual products, while today’s AI spending is burning through more money than the GDP of most countries just to have the biggest model with no clear path to profitability beyond “trust us bro”.

Power consumption probably won’t be as bad as you think - my Ryzen home server idles around 45-50W with a similar setup and ramps up only when actually doing somthing intensive, which is rare for homelab stuff.

If mashing keys isn’t working, try the Novo button instead - most Lenovo mini PCs have this tiny pinhole or button (usually on the side/back) that you press with a paperclip to directly access the boot menu without the keyboard mashng frustration.
